Accessing deleted item values before delete

[Philip]

I am attempting to create a change log when a radgrid item has been deleted. I would like to take the current values and write them to a different table. How can I access the values before they are deleted? I am using the methods below.

<

 

asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" OnClientClick="javascript:return confirm('Delete all selected customers?')"

 

runat

 

="server" CommandName="DeleteSelected"><img style="border:0px;vertical-align:middle;" alt="" src="Img/Delete.gif" />Delete selected customers</asp:LinkButton>

 

 

If e.CommandName = "DeleteSelected" Then

 

......
end if

Hello Philip,

You can access the items in the Delete Command before you perform the delete operation:
c#:

  protected void RadGrid2_DeleteCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            string strtxt1 = dataItem["ContactName"].Text;
            string strtxt2 = dataItem["ContactTitle"].Text;
        }
       // code to delete
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Princy,

If the column have a bool value; the property Text doesn´t work for get the value; ( text="&nbsp;")

Hello,

You can access the bool value as shown below.
C#:

bool strtxt1 =Convert.ToBoolean(dataItem["UniqueName"]);

Thanks,

Hello Princy

If it is a GridCheckBoxColumn a get the value as follows:

bool checkbox;

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
   GridDataItem deletedItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;               
   checkbox = bool.Parse((deletedItem["UniqueName"].Controls[0] as CheckBox).Checked.ToString());
}

That it is correct?
Have a nice day!

Hello Monica,

You are accessing the CheckBox control inside GridCheckBoxColumn properly. Note that you could access the CheckBox Checked properly directly without the need of parsing.

bool checkbox;

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
    GridDataItem deletedItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
    checkbox = (deletedItem["UniqueName"].Controls[0] as CheckBox).Checked;
}
